A10. Amazon Prime, Amazon Music & Google Storage #DigiBlogChat

A10 I'd keep assorted YouTube subscriptions, but they don't cost anything when you ring the bell. I don't mess with paid stuff of any kind there. #DigiBlogChat See: Youngster

Thank you as always for an enjoyable and useful #DigiBlogChat

A8. Premium printer inks are so expensive. I refuse to subscribe and use cheaper compatible cartridges. My thinking is the printer will last as long as I need it to. #DigiBlogChat

A9 I just remembered I pay a tidy sum for Hundai subscription services, but if I drop them, there goes GPS. #DigiBlogChat

I wanted something rustic but cheerful for November. Find out more about the 2026 calendar I made with a series of my paintings. Check out my page on Etsy @ Maricards

Everyone loves this painting so I added it to the August page. It's also available as a diary. DM for info. I love to chat so don't be shy to ask questions.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is sometimes called the “Queen of Tropical Fruits.” The leathery reddish purple rind encloses sweet-tart, segmented, white flesh & a few seeds. Delicious! They are tropical fruit royalty & deservedly so. #Clusiaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

A4: Pixelmator Pro. That good, Apple bought it to use themselves.

A7 Your local public library's digital services! You can use apps like Libby or Hoopla, or through a dedicated local library website for FREE. #DigiBlogChat #SupportLocalLibraries #PublicLibrary #LibrariesForLife #BookSky

Yes, in the U.S., Libby is FREE and a great way to find eBooks. #DigiBlogChat

A7 I know I don't have that. Book reading is my cure for insomnia, which I also don't have. #DigiBlogChat

Have you ordered your desk calendar for 2026? Take a look at this beautiful one I've made from my paintings. Available on Etsy @ Maricards

A6 See previous answer about piggybacking off our youngster. #DigiBlogChat

Good shout, OpenOffice.org was my go to backup for years. Plenty of AI tools offering free outcomes if you have the patience to explore and no pressure on productivity rate. #digiblogchat

A5. To do backups on a Mac, you can use Time Machine with an external hard drive. That's what I've been using. #DigiBlogChat

A5 External hard drives. #DigiBlogChat

A5 #DigiBlogChat Locally using Time Machine (although I'm in a bit of a mess with that at the moment), however I do also pay for and use iCloud and Google Drive (in Workspace). Actually there's a lower capacity free service in iCloud.

A4. Canva is widely used by many in social media circles. But it’s not as powerful as Photoshop, IMHO #DigiBlogChat

A2 LibreOffice! It’s a private, free and open source office suite (and the successor project to OpenOffice). It's also compatible with Microsoft Office/365 files. #DigiBlogChat

Q3. Would you ever opt out of Amazon Prime video? What would you replace it with? #DigiBlogChat
